Subject category Comment text
Deposit MINERALIZATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH A QUARTZ VEIN EXPOSED BY TRENCHES. AN ADIT HAS EXPOSED A 95 FOOT ZONE OF LIMESTONE BETWEEN 2 6 IN SILICEOUS LIMESTONE LAYERS. THE ZONE RANGES FROM 1-3 FT IN WIDTH, STRIKES N 12 W, AND DIPS 30 W. FOR 50 FT THE ZONE CONTAINS SHEELITE MINERALIZATION.
